I realise this thread is now two Months old, that my contribution may be too late and that I've not read the whole thread so may have duplicated someone else's suggestions, but... Little Boxes by Malvina Reynolds Working Class Hero by John Lennon would be two songs I think answer the...

looks like PT may be inactive for a little while but I know Nick Beggs has just been involved in another band 'Lifesigns' which has had involvement of Robin Boult who was the Guitarist for one of Dave Stewarts side projects 'Tilt' Invalid Link Removed I can recommend both the Tilt and...

I use both, depending on the song, some require fingers, others require a pick, either way it is all good fun.

I'd have to say my least favourite tone from any bassist is the Tone that is usually used when they hit or 'slap' the string with the side of their thumb and then pull the string to get a 'pop' sound with one of their fingers, that tone is horrible everytime I hear it. :hiding:

this has been widely acknowledged outside North America for some time. And I don't think it is just that one Government. I'm glad that it looks like Gibson are going to be able to get on with making good instruments without this hanging over them now. How the BBC Reported it...

in my experience (and there are a lot of people here with much more of it than me) the only sound that matters is how it sounds FoH. the balance to that is being able to hear your own instruments on stage so that you can be sure of what you are playing. in that respect for my money, even...

After one of those "The Wife" pedals I would like a Drive pedal that has the amount of drive controlled by an expression pedal so that you can sweep in the drive from a clean sound to super saturated and then back again. maybe I just need a pedal that would blend an FX loop into and out of a...

How many of those cabs have speakers in them :) Would be nice if it was all of them hooked up to an array of Mesa 400+ :bassist:

is there a difference between Solid State Bulb watts and Tube Bulb watts?

Looks like a fairly even spread between 15 and 65 to me. :D (June 1977 here)
